"Bang."

The Alchemy Furnace opened, and the fragrance of elixirs wafted out.

[The host has been detected refining nine Second-grade Immortal Spirit Elixirs. Quality: Superior.] [Congratulations, host, on obtaining one Magic Treasure Lightning Talisman.]

Luo Xuan slumped down. "How is this possible? How is this possible? It still isn't enough?"

After a long while, a ruthless look flashed through Luo Xuan's eyes. "No. Even if this next batch is ruined, I won't refine Immortal Spirit Elixirs anymore."

The ruthlessness buried in Luo Xuan's heart had been stirred up.

He had never been one to admit defeat. Otherwise, he would never have managed to refine elixirs in that era that denied their existence.

Luo Xuan rose to his feet, and a surge of energy burst from his body.

Late True Immortal!

Of course, Luo Xuan's strength was far from as simple as it appeared.

Deep within his body, there was an elixir slowly rotating—something only he could sense.

It was the result of Luo Xuan tempering himself day and night with the Five Directions Cauldron, faintly linking together the Dao Patterns throughout his body.

Once unleashed, it could even rival a Profound Immortal.

The Immortal Power flowing through his body was merely the Elixir Qi of this elixir.

Luo Xuan slapped his cheeks, then threw himself back into the process.

Outside the door, the Three Ancestors watched Luo Xuan's house with worried expressions.

Ziyi Clan frowned. "Luo Xuan hasn't come out for several months. I hope nothing has happened to him."

Youchaoshi shook her head. "With us here, what could happen? But if Luo Xuan can't refine the Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir, is he going to stay inside forever?"

A hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

Luo Xuan had told them from the beginning that he intended to refine the Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir.

They simply hadn't expected so much time to pass without him succeeding.

"He'll definitely come out." A voice eased the tension in their hearts.

They looked back and saw Suiren Shi wearing a determined expression. "Luo Xuan will definitely refine the Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir."

Mount Sumeru.

A figure appeared inside the cave abode.

Zhunti was overjoyed when he saw Jieyin appear. "Senior Brother, your seclusion has finally ended."

"Junior Brother, why are you in such a hurry?" Jieyin looked at the anxious expression in Zhunti's eyes, slightly puzzled.

Zhunti said, "Senior Brother, do you still remember that Luo Xuan?"

"The person who drew down merit a thousand years ago? What happened to him?" A thousand years was no more than one period of secluded cultivation to existences like them.

Zhunti hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, that Luo Xuan has refined a Third-grade Elixir."

Jieyin chuckled. "It's only a Third-grade Elixir. Look at how anxious you are."

The moment Jieyin sat down, he cried out in surprise and almost jumped back up.

"So many?!"

Just now, when his spiritual sense swept over Shouyang Mountain, he had discovered elixirs covering the ground behind Luo Xuan.

Every one of them was a Second-grade Immortal Spirit Elixir.

Zhunti cut in, "Senior Brother, Luo Xuan refined all of these over the past few months."

For someone at his level to refine so many elixirs—if he received a little nurturing...

At Zhunti's words, Jieyin's eyes flickered uncertainly before finally turning into a sigh. "How wonderful it would be if this child had been born in the West."

Zhunti's eyes rolled as he said, "Senior Brother, so much time has passed, yet the Three Pure Ones still haven't made a move."

"Why don't we go and convert Luo Xuan first?"

Jieyin's eyes lit up.

That was right. The Three Pure Ones still hadn't acted. This was the perfect opportunity!

"Kindness! Kindness!"

Kunlun Mountain.

Yuanshi and Tongtian watched Luo Xuan refine elixirs with great interest.

"Second Brother, Big Brother still hasn't come out after refining elixirs?"

"Who knows?" Yuanshi shrugged.

Not long ago, Laozi had said that watching Liu Ke refine elixirs had given him some insight, so he had entered seclusion to refine elixirs. He still hadn't come out, and no one knew what had happened.

At their current level, cultivation was a matter of gradual accumulation.

Any insight was precious, let alone insight gained by Laozi from a human at the Late True Immortal stage.

This shocked the two of them, but also made them somewhat envious.

As they spoke, their vision blurred, and they saw Laozi appear before them with a smile.

"Big Brother!" Tongtian smiled. "Did you gain anything from refining elixirs this time?"

"Fortunately, I didn't fail you. I've made some further improvements to the Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir!" Laozi smiled and spread open both hands.

The two of them focused their gazes and saw three elixirs in Laozi's hands.

Each elixir was golden, with profound Dao rhymes flowing around it. Three cloud-like patterns adorned each one.

"The effects of this Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir should be at least fifty percent stronger than before, right?" Yuanshi and Tongtian exchanged a glance and cupped their hands. "Congratulations, Big Brother, on advancing further in the Pill Dao."

Although it was only a minor improvement to the Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir, Laozi's Pill Dao had advanced somewhat. That certainly deserved congratulations.

Yuanshi said, "It seems that Luo Xuan isn't anything special after all. They're both refining the Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir, yet he still hasn't finished as quickly as Big Brother."

As he spoke, Yuanshi secretly glanced at Laozi.

He thought that if Laozi truly didn't take a liking to Luo Xuan, wouldn't that give him an opportunity?

Laozi smiled faintly. "After all, he has only just entered the field. Being able to refine the Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir is already no simple feat."

Laozi gazed at Luo Xuan with even greater satisfaction, looking very much like a master instructing his disciple.

Even his own insights had been sensed from Luo Xuan.

The more Laozi looked at Luo Xuan, the more he liked him.

Luo Xuan had no idea that so many people were watching him.

Of course, even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared at this moment.

His eyes were fixed on the Alchemy Furnace, his entire mind focused as he feared missing any detail.

When the liquid inside the Alchemy Furnace slowly condensed into the form of an elixir, delight appeared on Luo Xuan's face.

"Go!"

Immortal Power poured from his body into the Alchemy Furnace. Luo Xuan let out a furious shout, as if venting the pent-up frustration of the past several days.

Immediately afterward, Luo Xuan felt the medicinal power of the elixir inside the Alchemy Furnace expand.

"No way..." Luo Xuan seemed to realize something, and his face fell.

The Three Ancestors, still waiting for the result outside the courtyard, watched as Luo Xuan's house collapsed once again...

"Luo Xuan!" The Three Ancestors were greatly alarmed.

Suiren Shi was the first to rush forward.

The next moment, the hairs on Suiren Shi's body stood on end, as if he had sensed some enormous danger. He forcibly halted his movement.

Boom!

A thunderbolt instantly descended.

The Three Ancestors were dumbfounded.

Was this afraid that Luo Xuan wouldn't die thoroughly enough?

"Cough, cough..." Only after hearing the sound of coughing did the Three Ancestors' dazed gazes regain their focus. They looked delightedly toward the black smoke, then saw a disheveled figure.

"Luo Xuan, are you all right?" The Three Ancestors were overjoyed.

Luo Xuan shook his head and smiled. "I refined the Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir."

As he spoke, Luo Xuan extended his hand, and an elixir appeared before the Three Ancestors.

It was somewhat different from the one refined by Laozi. The elixir was covered in twisted markings.

But upon closer inspection, they weren't cracks. They were merely Dao Patterns resembling lightning.

"I call it the Thunderfall Elixir. It can help someone advance to the True Immortal stage. Moreover, after taking it, the lightning within the body can be comprehended or unleashed to slay enemies."

As Luo Xuan explained, the Three Ancestors were left gaping in shock.

The Three Pure Ones were even more stunned.

Lightning could be said to be a manifestation of the laws in the primordial world. No matter how superficial it was, it still embodied the Great Dao Laws.

What did it mean to comprehend the power of lightning and even unleash it to slay enemies?

While everyone was still stunned, a mass of Auspicious Clouds descended from the sky, carrying an enormous amount of merit.

For a time, many mighty figures throughout the primordial world were once again awakened by the merit.

On Phoenix Perch Mountain, Nuwa also opened her eyes in astonishment.
